I'm not sure why they renamed the show from being their names to "snarskicircuslindyband" but this is Lindy Morrison (The Go-Betweens) and Rob Snarski (I don't know who that is)*. I'd love to see a Lindy Morrison band, I reckon it would rule. No support act - two sets. * From the Blackeyed Susans, you philistine. - CW

1300 Mania

W/ 1300, Srirachi, SOLLYY, GDC, Sidney Phillips, Lil Ket, stealthyn00b

7:30pm The Lansdowne

NB:

Believe the hype. After drip-feeding singles across the pandemic that absolutely ruled our living rooms ('who the fuck are these guys? what is happening??' might have been my utterance when first hearing 'Smashmouth'), this gang of five (jokingly self-described as 'the BTS of Burwood') were playing still-early gigs a year ago: notable outings included their Genesis Owusu support at the Enmore, and an inspired booking at Phoenix Central Park. They crushed, and have only improved their force ever since. This will soon be a tiny room by 1300 standards, so see them while they're still doing 'em. Trust me on this.

Frente!

W/ Sally Seltmann

Note: none of the posters I've seen actually indicate a start time for the set. They just say "doors open from 4pm" which... very helpful. So, maybe take a look at Annie's instagram or something on the day of to figure out when to time it.
